About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as matching numbers. Very good chrome. Excellent, gorgeous paint. Light pitting on the windshield frame. Very clean and restored underneath. A fantastic car. Restored 10 years ago, but the quality of work is certainly holding up and any small flaws are easily forgiven considering the overall presentation and the kind of car that it is. One of just 240 alloy-bodies 120s and just 184 left-hand drive examples.

Market commentary

Sold at Christie's Retromobile sale in 2006 for $235,918 following a restoration in France. The market for rare Jaguars has grown considerably since then and this example has since received a top notch concours-quality restoration. It got every bit what it deserved, which is well over twice what a standard XK 120 in similar condition could expect to bring.
